Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

and I liked Branagh's Hamlet.

I loved his Henry V and hated his Hamlet. One of the three movies I have walked out of. (The other two are The Muppet Movie and this very long British movie called The Fool.)

I saw his theatre company do Lear in Toroto in 1990? 1991? The production was just okay. Branagh played Edgar and was terrible. Emma Thompson played The Fool as a misshapen, almost Igor like character and just completely blew me away. Definitely in the top three stage performances I've ever seen.

I knew the Branagh/Thompson marriage was in jeopardy by the end of that play because I realized that A) She was waaaaaay more talented than she was, and B) he would not be able to deal with that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Only movie I ever walked out of was the last Star Wars. My partner kept snoring. We made it about 40 minutes. I even sat through Blade:Trinity. Admittedly, that was because I was watching Ryan Reynolds.

Get this, Megan: they passed on Crispin Glover to cast him.

Oh. as usual. dear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have a sneaking suspicion Heath may be easier to work with than Crispin. Seeing as he'll just be faking the crazy. You know--acting.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

the only way I'll ever see the third Star Wars is if I'm drunk and I stole the DVD. And if someone will sit in front of me with silhouettes of alien robots and talk smack.

And I have much faith in Heath playing the Joker, and go! Maggie Gyllenhaal for taking away one reason to fast-forward through Batman. Could they CGI her into Batman Begins?

You walked out of The Muppet Movie?

You walked out of The Muppet Movie?

What can I say? I was a very cynical 10 year-old who wasn't buying a frog on a bicycle. My best friend walked out with me too.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

You walked out of The Muppet Movie at age 10? I weep.

"That's a myth."

"A what?"

"Myth! Myth!"

"Yeth?"
